2) Pray for each person in your family as you fold their laundry.

3) Pray the specific areas of your house.

4) Housecleaning prayersPray as you clean your house. Be thankful for what you have. As you wipe away the dirt and grime ask God to clean your heart. To show any area that needs to be wiped clean so that you can shine for Him.

As you pick up toys pray for patience with your kids or grandkids.

6) Every time you see a UPS truck pray for something specific.
